The Excavator
On the day itself, AV was leading his adventurous team to look for an A-ranked club. For the very first time, they succeeded. Staring at them, Wu Na felt that they looked different than before.
The way he walked was like he was attending a homecoming after their victory.
Huang Zhong was on cloud nine.
So, this is what they call adventure! Attack, defend, tricks are everywhere. As compared to the lord, Iâm still not good enough. Look, I even needed Brother LilâWang to rescue me from trouble. I must work harder and not be a burden to the team like Zhuge Liang.
At the beach, AV was smiling, âWe canât be arrogant just because of one victory! There are still Little Girlâs Heaven, The House of Maids, Illusion World and The Girls Hell, these four legendary adventure places. The two defeats in Little Girlâs Heaven are still fresh in our minds. Itâs good if we take the opportunity to practice more. Iâve planned to bring yâall to experience Illusion World next weekend. Itâs the mutant ladiesâ nest. I hope everyone is mentally prepared.â
âIs the Little Girlâs Heaven that scary?â Huang Zhong saw everyoneâs expression changed at the sound of the name. It was intense fear.
âOld Cao, Old Sun and I, being no match for those little demons are just a game in their hands,â Liu Bei mumbled as he clenched his fist. Moments later, he let go and turned his head to overlook the sea. âI have a bad feeling about the Illusion World.â
âA challenge only has meaning when itâs difficult, isnât it?â Cao Cao heaved a cloud of smoke from his cigar.
âLiang has something to say.â
âShut up!â AV exclaimed and Lin Liang sighed.
My performance was just a bit off a few times, thatâs all.
âSo, everyone of you must possess the willingness to sacrifice! Donât forget that weâre a family! Weâre one team! Letâs try our best to conquer at least one of them before this year ends!â AV told them his plan and everyone nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, SpyingBlade and Fang Ci facepalmed.
These idiots.
However, the two of them did not like losing.
Since weâve been bullied in Little Girlâs Heaven, we must make them pay back!
As the sun climbed above the horizon, everyone seemed to have a decision made in mind. Seeing the seriousness inscribed on their faces, Huang Zhong was surprised.
Wow, they are more serious than the time when I decided to go
Mount Dingjun
.
âAlright, dismiss. Itâs time for breakfast!â AV clapped his hands and his listeners walked into the house with full spirits. Wu Na quickly shouted, âHold it right there! Extinguish the cigarette!â
Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Huang Zhong flicked them away in a rush.
âOh, Old Brother Flasher, youâre here too!â Cao Cao smiled as he saw Flasher Uncle and they sat down for a chat. Meanwhile, there was an exchange session between Liu Bei and Panty Uncle too which was mostly about craftsmanship. Zui Yiyi who came back from her World Tour was greeted by confusion as she was introduced to the newcomers.
Are they playing The Three Kingdoms?!
She greeted them politely but her heart skipped a beat when she realized the presence of Huang Zhong.
He looks like a Santa Claus but I somehow like him. Those full muscles⊠but he keeps calling himself an old man. He looks only a little over 20. Maybe heâs even younger than me.
She then decided to sit beside him to observe him while eating her breakfast. Once in a while, she would try to strike up a conversation and she managed to find out about Huang Zhongâs job and made a mental note of it.
ThornyRose who had good observation noticed her weird actions and tried so hard not to laugh out loud
. Her taste is actually like this?! That fellaâs cousins are totally weird. Just this Huang Zhong is enough. I could even feel that heâs a good fighter and also a strong one. I think I saw him swinging his blade yesterday and he accidentally flattened a riff. Wow. His job at the funfair is just so mysterious that thereâs definitely something behind it. All his relatives are mysterious anyway. Oh well, Iâm too lazy to figure it out.
Lin Liang felt stressed throughout the meal with them because he felt that everyone in the adventurous team viewed him differently.
I will need to prove myself. Iâm the strategist in this team! I must make great contributions in the quest to conquer the four places! Oh, this bun is tasty. Golden Crab Bun.
Just when he was about to take one, he felt a pain in his hand. He looked up to see Liu Bei staring at him with a poker face. âOnly the person with the most contribution in the team can eat thisâŠâ
Lin Liangâs eyes were wide open and staring at Liu Bei who took a bite of the juicy and fragrant bun, chewed it like how a cow ruminates its cud and swallowed it down his throat. Helplessly, he reached out for a mushroom bun to comfort himself. Zhao Xiangyu who felt a sense of empathy gave Lin Liang her bun as well. However, this made Lin Liang feel like sobbing because he saw the feeling in Zhao Xiangyuâs eyes.
Little girl, can you just not look at me with those eyes?!
Suddenly, Zhao Xiangyuâs words gave a shock to Lin Liang.
âI know youâre unemployed but donât give up. Youâll definitely find a job and makeâŠâ
âUnemployed⊠unemployed⊠unemployedâŠâ The phrase kept on repeating in Lin Liangâs mind like a tape put on loop.
Seeing Lin Liang was a little dampened, Cao Cao looked at Zhao Xiangyu.
Wow, this girl sure has a violent mouth. No, I must add on too.
âThe unemployed man is still blindly giving orders in our dangerous missionâŠâ
âHey, Old Cao, donât make it so obvious. Itâs just all about talking for that someoneâŠâ Liu Bei smirked.
âWho are you guys talking about? Oh, oh! I know! Itâs the shameless person right? *sigh* That person came to this world way earlier than us though. Give him some dignity, Old Cao.â Sun Quan was drinking his seafood porridge.
âHmph! Itâs just whether I want a job or not! Goodbye!â Lin Liang got up and ran to the human resource market. Only then, he realized that his previous education background was useless. He was shooed away before he could even introduce himself.
Should I go back to the Lin family and ask them to get it done for me? If they know about it, Iâd be embarrassed!
He kept away his feathered fan and got a job after a ton of rejections. It was a job that he had never thought about â an excavator driver at a construction site.
Heavenâs Sword Sect
âUncle has left us for quite a while already. What is he doing?â Lin Lan mumbled as he had quite a close relationship with Lin Liang. Ever since he grew up, Lin Liang was like a father who taught him a lot of tactics and other stuff. He then asked someone to check on Lin Liang and got hold of the fact that he worked as an excavator driver. He pondered.
Uncle must have wanted to experience a part of normal life. I bet he asked someone to bring him an excavator and started learning about it. He must be trying to play those escaped prisonersâ games. Quite interesting.
On the other hand, AV heaved a sigh of relief. That burden has finally left the team. However, Lin Liangâs return with his salary made Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Quan surprised while AV sighed. Seeing AVâs dampened look, Huang Zhong asked, âLord, seeing from your worried face, you must have something you need help with?â
ââŠâŠâ AV was shocked when he was being asked the legendary questions from 100 Quest Accepting Sentences and swung his hand. âYou better get prepared. Iâm expecting a lot from you. This time around is just an eye-opening experience for you. After that, you must train hard, LilâHuang.â
AV patted Huang Zhongâs shoulder with a heavy heart. Staring at AVâs back, Huang Zhong respected him. He then went on to work. Zuo Yiyi disguised herself and followed behind.
